Selenocysteine is encoded by a UGA codon in all organisms that synthesise selenoproteins. This codon is specified as a selenocysteine codon by an mRNA secondary structure, which is located immediately 3' of the UGA in the reading frame of selenoprotein genes in Gram-negative bacteria, whereas it is located in the 3' untranslated region of eukaryal selenoprotein genes. The location and the struc...

The Lhcp constituents of the photosynthetic apparatus of higher plants form protein-pigment complexes that are involved in the capture and distribution of light energy in both photosystems in the thylakoid membranes (Anderson, 1986). Severa1 Lhcps encoded by multigene families and closely related on a structural basis are found in each plant species (Buetow et al., 1988). Sequences for Lhcp gen...

RNA structure heterogeneity is a major challenge when querying structures with chemical probing. We introduce DRACO, an algorithm for the deconvolution of coexisting conformations from mutational profiling experiments. Analysis SARS-CoV-2 genome using dimethyl sulfate sequencing (DMS-MaPseq) and identifies multiple regions that fold into two mutually exclusive conformations, including conserved...

Cloned cDNA and genomic sequences have been analyzed to deduce the amino acid sequence of phytochrome from etiolated Avena. Restriction endonuclease site polymorphism between clones indicates that at least four phytochrome genes are expressed in this tissue. Sequence analysis of two complete and one partial coding region shows approximately 98% homology at both the nucleotide and amino acid lev...

A virus with picorna-like biophysical properties was isolated from South African honey bees. On the basis of serology, it was identified as an isolate of black queen-cell virus (BQCV). Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an 8550 nt polyadenylated genome containing two large ORFs. The 5'-proximal ORF (ORF 1) represented 4968 nt while the 3'-proximal ORF (ORF 2) represented 2562 nt. The ORFs we...

The human lipoprotein lipase gene was cloned and characterized. It is composed of 10 exons spanning approximately equal to 30 kilobases. The first exon encodes the 5'-untranslated region, the signal peptide plus the first two amino acids of the mature protein. The next eight exons encode the remaining 446 amino acids, and the tenth exon encodes the long 3'-untranslated region of 1948 nucleotide...

The sequence of the 3' 1106 nucleotides of the watermelon mosaic virus 2 (WMV 2) genome has been determined. The sequence contains the complete coding region of the viral coat protein followed by a 3' untranslated sequence of 251 nucleotides. When these sequences were compared with the equivalent regions of the N strain of soybean mosaic virus (SMV-N), the coat protein coding regions were 82% h...

This article will try to investigate the Javanese words which are left untranslated found in Okky Madasari’s novel that has been translated into English under title “The Years of Voiceless”. The research is directed reveal reasons motivate translators not translate those words. By applying sociolinguistic theory strongly believes linguistic performances influenced by extralinguistic factors, it...
